The Treatises of Cyprian

1. That we must not please men, but God.

In the fifty-second Psalm: “They that please men are confounded, because God hath made them nothing.”(Ps. liii. 5) Also in the Epistle of Paul to the Galatians: “If I wished to please men, I should not be the servant of Christ.”(Gal. i. 10)
